Decarboxylative hydrazination of unactivated carboxylic acids by cerium photocatalysis

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

We report the cerium photocatalyzed radical decarboxylative hydrazination of carboxylic acids with di-tert-butylazodicarboxylate (DBAD). The operationally simple protocol provides rapid access to synthetically useful hydrazine derivatives and overcomes current scope limitations in the photoredox-catalyzed decarboxylation of carboxylic acids.
